Ok, I found an answer to the first part - says you need to redistribute the
complete Cygwin sources, which sounds like a stupid requirement to me, but
that's the GPL for you. I wonder if having a link alongside the binary
download counts as co-distribution. I can see requiring source distribution
if you *modified* Cygwin, but otherwise.. it's just kind of dumb. Worst
case, you've got to add an extra zip file.
I still don't know about the packagability, though...
